This utilitarian backpack combines the fortitude of a climber’s haulbag with the everyday features necessary for the school and office commute. Featuring waterproof fabric and a water-resistant construction and zippers, our Black Hole Pack gear bag protects your stuff from rain, rough handling and miles of abuse. The large main pocket holds the lion’s share. An internal sleeve carries most 17-inch laptops or a hydration reservoir, and two mesh pockets equipped with a key keeper organize your phone and zip drives. A lid pocket for small stuff seals with a moisture-shedding, reverse-coil zipper; daisy chain lash points secure a skateboard or yoga mat. A zippered front pocket holds quick-access items. Compression straps on both sides cinch the load and/or secure external items. For carrying comfort, the backpack’s padded shoulder straps have load lifters and a sternum strap. A molded back panel sheds moisture and allows a cooling airflow, and a simple waistband secures the pack. Made from 14.7-oz 1,200-denier polyester (50% solution-dyed) with a TPU-film laminate and a DWR (durable water repellent) finish.
